Hello dear friend,

The year is zooming along! I hope you are having a productive time! 

How are your New Year's resolutions going?

Perhaps you remember that I was trying to get rid of the main plastic contaminants in my life. And with that goal in mind I tracked down a milkman who delivered organic milk in glass bottles.

I have been getting this milk for a couple of months now and can definitely recommend: a) My particular company Totally Welsh - see Our Products - Totally Welsh   and b) That you try the milk even for its amazing taste alone! [Update January 24: I was using Milk and More but they were bought by Totally Welsh, which is great as well!]

I've gone back to whole milk and can report that this stuff in glass bottles is really a blast from the past. Just like it used to taste. You get cream settling at the top of the bottle - just like real milk used to. 

I have a theory: The majority of us got seduced by cheap milk in plastic bottles sold in supermarkets, and, in doing so, not only did we settle for an inferior product, it is a health-risk not worth taking. 

I also mentioned that I was trying yoghurt in glass. That though was not so successful for me. It tasted good but I prefer thick Greek-style yoghurt and this was too thin for me. I haven't yet been able to track down my favourite kind in glass yet. Perhaps you can help me with that. 

Meantime, please keep telling me what you are up to. I love hearing from you. I delight in the fact that I have readers all over the globe! So please continue to use the Contact me button below.

Love and blessings

New Year Fresh Goals!

^{Get the Most From a Nature Walk!}

^{Hear the birdsong, the ocean thundering, the stream gurgling - not the stream of music flooding your ears, or even the chatter of a friend  on your mobile drowning out these soothing natural sounds.}

^{Then feast your eyes on the source of the communication, and, breathing deeply, relax fully into the moment.} 

^{I predict that even a short walk taken this way will leave you refreshed.}

Hello dear friend,

I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year!

I wonder if you have made any new year's resolutions? Mine include trying to eliminate as much plastic as possible in my food shopping. The first item I plan to change is milk in plastic bottles. I have tracked down a milkman who delivers. He also stocks yoghurt in glass jars - so that's another product I regularly eat which I can now buy in glass. Happily both the milk and yoghurt are also organic so healthier and kinder for the cows.

When I have tried this delivery out I will let you know if I can recommend the company involved.

I have made this decision because, as you - all of us?! - know: plastic has carcinogenic properties. And now that, in the UK, the number of people getting cancer is said to be 1 in 2 - and that includes some of my closest friends - I feel that urgent preventative action needs to be taken.

I wonder what new year resolutions you have made. I would love you to let me know. To do this simply click on the Contact me button.

Love and blessings

Put Christ Back into Christmas!

^{Monday 24th December 2018 Christmas Eve}

Hello dear friend,

I hope you are well and have finished preparations for your Christmas celebrations tomorrow.

I am looking forward to attending Midnight Mass at midnight for a change! For the last few years this time spot has got earlier and earlier. Fortunately our parish priest is a traditionalist - hence the Mass will be held at midnight. Before this there will be carol singing. And I have manoeuvred myself into the role of "Greeter" so I will be very busy and won't have time to think about the fact that this is the first Christmas without Dad and the third without Mum.

You may be in a similar place in your life. If you are I hope that by focussing on Christ this Christmas - instead of the surrounding festivities - you will get through with a sprinkling of Joy!

Wishing you a very Happy and Holy Christmas. 

Love and blessings

Teresa
